Girl on A Swing

Last year Desiree saw a swing-seat at Mitre10, but when we went back to get one, they had sold out. She has long hankered after a swing-seat such as this, saying that she has wanted one ever since sitting in her Aunt Molly's in Auckland some years ago.

So when we were in Mitre10 again recently (not that we spend a lot of time there, but we do visit now and then) she had a quick look again, and Lo and Behold - there they were again! So of course, we had to do the deal, along with a new table and chairs (the current table has been battered a little courtesy of the wind shifting the umbrella).

We eventually managed to get it home, and then it had to be assembled. Craig decided he wanted to that job - and whom am I to argue?

I stand out of sight
And watch as the light from the sun
Shines through her hair
From yonder she came
I don't know her name
Still I love that girl on a swing

Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
Take all the hate from the world that we're in
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
And you can cast all your troubles to the wind

She comes with the light
Then goes with the night
My heart just yearns
But then comes the dawn
And she returns

Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
Take all the hate from the world that we're in
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
And you can cast all your troubles to the wind
